House in the center of Igualada

Designed to be a house that changes over time, we propose a comprehensive reform inside, keeping the outside intact.

The proposal is based on the energetic and functional study of each environment of the program. The day and night uses are marked by each floor, like a thermal cushion on the north face, in the form of a staircase interconnecting them. Indoor day area on street floor, night area on basement floor. The house can enjoy a well-equipped garden, which revitalizes and frees the interior island facade.

The clients, at all times, asked to take advantage of the good orientation of the construction, to enhance the natural light in each room. For this reason we propose two patios: one that ventilates humid areas and transmits light to the rooms; the other that accompanies the staircase from the deck, marking a good entrance to the street, to the basement, acting as an acoustic cushion towards the street.

Seeking coexistence between material pre-existences and new actions, the house shows us at all times what was there before. They thus allow balanced textures with the partitions between glass and natural wood as partitions between environments.
